Journal of Individual Differences in Education

Education is an important factor that brings about individual differences. Individual differences can be defined as personal characteristics that distinguish learners from each other in teaching and learning processes. The importance of individual differences in education has been known for a long time. Adjusting the learning environment according to the individual needs of the student and preparing the curricula by considering these individual differences will help the development of individuals.

Journal of Individual Differences in Education is a scientific research journal that aims to publish articles on individual differences in education and training environments in this context. The journal focuses on original studies with applied and theoretical content that contribute to the field. Journal of Individual Differences in Education publishes original research not exceeding 10000 words. This journal uses double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process.
